A
Tim Ma's parents came to the United States from Taiwan in the 1970s. They opened a restaurant. It was not a
success. They found success in America, however, in computers and engineering. In part because of their own
experiences, Ma's parents hoped he would study to become an engineer or doctor. They wanted financial security
for their child.
Growing up, Ma considered many professions – writer, fireman, even president. But he had a sense early
on... ―I didn't want to be an engineer. However, Ma did well in math and science classes in high school and he
ended up choosing to study electrical engineering in college.
Several engineering jobs later, though, Ma had a change of heart. He wanted to leave the engineering world
behind and enter the restaurant business. It was in his blood. After all, his parents had owned a Chinese restaurant
in Arkansas. His uncle also owned one in New York.
His parents, Ma says, could not understand why he would want to leave such a good job to open a restaurant.
They had worked long hours but their own restaurant still failed. They kept asking, ―Why?
But Ma remained certain. He was going to do things differently than his parents. He was able to learn from
their one major mistake as restaurant owners – they knew very little about the art of cooking. So, at age 30, Ma
left engineering and returned to school – cooking school.
Ma soon learned that he enjoyed cooking. In 2009, Ma opened his first restaurant in Virginia. It is called
Maple Avenue. At Maple Avenue, Ma cooked, cleaned the ovens, fixed equipment and paid bills. He worked long
hours, seven days a week. His long hours paid off. Ma opened his fourth restaurant last year, Kyirisan in
Washington, D.C.
Kyirisan's success is due to the creative menu and food, Ma says. But mostly it just comes from completely
hard work. ―I think in this country you can create your own success, just by working hard. Not because you're
smarter than anybody, not because you're more creative than anybody, just by working hard. And I think that's
why a lot of people end up coming to America.
1. Why did Ma’s parents want him to become an engineer or doctor?
A. Their family had found success in engineering for generations.
B. They were tired of running a restaurant.
C. They thought it financially secure to be an engineer or doctor.
D. They wanted him to try a career different from theirs.2. Why do a lot of people come to America?
A. They can learn many things. B. They can run their business creatively.
C. They can choose jobs freely. D. They can succeed through hard work.
3. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A suitable job B. Follow your heart
C. A successful business D. Create your own business

Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters,
allowing people with ALS(渐冻症)to communicate with others from a phone.
The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements
in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.
For people suffering from ALS also known as motor neurone(神经元)disease, eye movement can be the
only way to communicate. “Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor disabilities are
expensive, not constant under sunlight, and require frequent readjustment and considerable, relatively fixed
systems,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.
“To reduce the drawbacks…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system running on a
smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, constant, portable and easy to learn.”
The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart stuck to the back of the
smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make for communication.
The label shows four grids(方格) of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By
looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids they want the letters belong to. The artificial
intelligence algorithm(计算程序) is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set
to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.
4. How does the new smartphone app help people with ALS?
A. By connecting its camera with sufferers’ appearance.
B. By communicating with people directly with a camera.
C. By changing eye movements into detailed written information.
D. By looking into the eyes of the sufferers.
5. Why did the researchers develop GazeSpeak?
A. GazeSpeak will have fewer disadvantages.
B. Current systems can’t function effectively.
C. GazeSpeak can be properly used in the medical field.
D. Current systems can increase the risk of motor disabilities.
6. What can we know according the text?
A. Sufferers’ eye movements are determined by GazeSpeak.
B. Current systems are solid but costly for sufferers.
C. GazeSpeak has helped people a lot.
D. GazeSpeak hasn’t been practically on the market.
【语篇解读】本文介绍了微软开发的一款新的智能手机应用程序--运动障碍者凝视手势交流软件,用

C
The first organized system for sending messages began in Egypt around 1500 B.C. This system developed
because the pharaohs frequently needed to send messages up and down the Nile River in order to keep their
empire running smoothly. Later, the Persians developed a more efficient system for sending messages using men
and horses. Messages carriers rode along the road system stretching from one end of the Persian Empire to the
other. Along these roads, fresh men and horses waited at special stations to take and pass along any messages that needed to be sent. The stations where riders passed messages back and forth were built 23 kilometers apart, so the
men and horses were able to travel quickly between them. The Romans later took up his idea and improved it by
using a more advanced and extensive road system.
In China, however, Kublai Khan had built up his own system for delivering messages. This system worked in
the same basic way as the Roman system. The difference was that Kublai Khan kept 300,000 horses along the
roads of this delivery lines. There were over 10,000 stations where a message would be passed from one rider to
another with a fresh horse. In this way, Kublai Khan could receive messages from anywhere in the country in only
a few days.
It was not until the 1500s that a well-organized postal system appeared again in Europe. One family, the von
Taxis family, gained the right to deliver mail for the Holy Roman Empire and parts of Spain. This family
continued to carry mail, both government and private, throughout Europe for almost 300 years.
In 1653, a Frenchman, Renouard de Velayer, established a system for delivering post in Paris. Postal charges
at that time were paid by the recipient , but de Velayer's system was unique by allowing the sender to pre-pay the
charges, in a similar way to the modern stamp. Unfortunately, de Velayer's system came to an end when jealous
competitors put live mice in his letter boxes, ruining his business. Eventually, government-controlled postal
systems took over from private postal businesses, and by the 1700s government ownership of most postal systems
in Europe was an accepted fact of life.
The thing that all these early systems had in common was that they were quite expensive for public use, and
were intended for use by the government and the wealthy. However, in 1840, a British schoolteacher named
Roland Hill suggested introducing postage stamps, and a postal rate based on weight. This resulted in lowering
postal rates, encouraging more people to use the system to stay in touch with each other, His idea helped the
British postal system begin to earn profits as early as 1850. Soon after that many other countries took up Mr. Hill's
idea. And letter writing became accessible to anyone who could write. Today, the Roland Hill awards are given
each year to "encourage and reward fresh ideas which help promote philately" (stamp collecting).
7. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How international letters travel. B. A surprising method for delivering mail.
C. The history of postal systems. D. Changes in the methods of communication.
8. Which of the following statements about Renouard de Velayer is true?
A. His was a government-controlled system.
B. His competitors destroyed his business.
C. His system lasted for hundreds of years.
D. In his system, the person who received the letter paid the postage fees.
9. Which of the systems mentioned in the passage was most like the postal system today?
A. Egyptian. B. Chinese.
C. de Velayer's. D. von Taxis's.
10. What was Roland Hill's greatest achievement?
A. He made letter writing accessible to the average person.
B. He made a lot of money for the British postal system.C. He made stamp collecting a popular hobby.
D. He won an award for letter writing.

People who love to spend time in their kitchen know that after having a rough day it helps them to
relieve stress. Cooking up a favorite meal helps you forget about any of the issues you were focused on
during the day. 31 Spending time alone in the kitchen after a long day at work allows you to simply
recharge and enjoy the solitude of your kitchen.
Cooking can be a great way to put off a daily task, and those who love to cook know this all too well. Putting
all your effort into making an elaborate meal or your favorite dessert is a great way to avoid anything that you
have been dreading.
32 Anyone who enjoys cooking knows that when you share a common interest like cooking with
someone from a different culture, you can easily form a bond. They see this as an amazing opportunity to share
recipes and dishes and learn from different cooking traditions and customs.
Eating out as a cook allows you to taste surprising ingredients in dishes. 33 Unusual flavors excite
you and unique interpretations of dishes have you asking the waiter exactly what was added to make the food
so flavorful. This might not excite your non-cook friends and family, but for you, it’s a great way to learn and
improve. 34
35 As a cook, you have learned to add your own personal tastes to recipes through extensive trial and
error. There are no limits for you when it comes to putting a new take on a traditional favorite, because, for you,
cooking is all about creation.
A Cooking is also a universal language.
B. Going out to eat becomes a whole other experience.
C. Instead, you concentrate on creating something delicious.
D. Moreover, cooking plays an important role in family life.E. Cooking makes you a happy and popular person.
F. Mastering cooking skills helps you to become creative with food.
G. It is also likely to potentially inspire you to try to cook the meals in your own kitchen.

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
When I was in the third grade, my teacher told us to write a report on our dream. I poured my whole heart
into my report, 56 (drive) by a dream to be an airline pilot. 57 my paper came back with an “F” on it. The
teacher said that it was a “fairy tale”, 58 made me crushed and disappointed.
Too many people said,” Girls can’t become pilots; never have, never will.” 59 (final), I gave up.
In my senior year of high school, my English teacher, Ms Dorothy, one day gave the class 60 same task. I
61 (think) about the report I had written before. Pilot? No way. Waitress? That felt safe, so I wrote it down.
Two days later, the teacher handed back the task, saying sincerely, “If you don’t go for your dreams, no one
will do it for you. You can have what you want!” I felt very 62 (delight) as well as a little scared. I stayed after
the class and went up to my teacher. I told her my dream 63 becoming a pilot. “Then do it” she said.
So I did. It took me 10 years of hard work 64 (achieve) my ambition. Now I’m one of the Boeing 737 65
(captain) for the United Airelines. I prove to all that it is not a fairy tale.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,作者是一个女生,她的梦想是成为一名飞行员,三年级的时候老
师这个梦想被认为是神话,高中老师鼓励我努力追求梦想,最终作者取得了成功,成为了机长。
56. driven 【解析】考查非谓语动词。动词drive与主语I构成被动关系,要用过去分词做状语,所以句中要
填过去分词形式driven。
57. But 【解析】考查连词。句意:被成为飞行员的梦想驱使,我把所有的精力都用在了我的报告上,但
我的报告发下了的时候上面写着一个“F”。我很认真写这个报道,最终成绩却很差。上下文是转折关系,
所以要填But表示转折。
58. which 【解析】考查定语从句。句意:老师说这个梦想是神话故事,这让我崩溃和失望。本题中关系
代词which指代前面一句话的内容,引导定语从句并在句中做主语。所以要填which。
59. Finally 【解析】考查副词。在英语里副词通常做状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子;而形容词
通常做定语表语修饰名词代词。句中应该使用副词修饰整个句子,所以要填副词Finally。
60.the 【解析】考查定冠词。句意:在高中的时候,我的英语老师Ms Dorothy给了我们同样的任务。定冠
词the修饰same task,表示强调。所以要填定冠词the。
61.thought 【解析】考查时态。句意:我想起了以前我写过的报告。本句叙述高中所发生的事情,用一般
过去时。所以要填thought。
62.delighted 【解析】考查形容词。句意:我感觉很高兴也有点害怕。系动词feel后面要接形容词构成系表
结构,而且所填的形容词要和scared构成并列关系,所以要填形容词delighted。
63.of/about 【解析】考查固定短语。句意:我告诉她我的梦想是成为飞行员。短语the dream of doing sth做
某事的梦想。所以要填介词of/about。64.to achieve 【解析】考查固定句式。句式It takes sb some time to do sth做某事花费某人…时间。其中it是
形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语to achieve my ambition。所以要填to achieve。
65.captains 【解析】考查名词复数形式。句意:现在我是美航波音737飞机的机长之一。短语“one of…”意
为“…之一”,of的后面要节可数名词复数形式,所以要填captains。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的短文。
Last Sunday afternoon, Sandra and I were eager to meet up with a man on Detroit’s east side to help him get
ready for a job interview this week. But on the way, we spotted a dog lying near the road next to his owner. We
thought he’d been hit by a car. My friend, Sandra Abrahamian, and I had assisted animal rescue groups before and we thought there might be something we could do, so we quickly pulled over to help.
His owner, a woman told us the dog’s name is Bosco, and she was walking him over a mile in the heat to her
new home. She said Bosco was an outside dog and no one would give him a ride to her new place. That’s when
she and a friend decided to walk the entire way. He was going from a life on a chain in one backyard to another.
She said Bosco was having trouble breathing along the way, but they thought he could make it. But just a block
away from their destination, Bosco fell down. We could tell he was suffering from heatstroke (中暑). She told us
he had thrown up and could no longer stand. Bosco was out of breath quickly; his drool(口水) was also thick.
Bosco’s owner said she wanted to give him away because she didn’t have time for him. She said he would never
be allowed into her new "home" because her children have allergies(过敏症) and she worried he would dirty the
carpet.
I made a call to Kristina Rinaldi of Detroit Dog Rescue to ask if they could help Bosco because it was clear
that he was going to die without emergency care. To our happiness, Rinaldi said they could help. At once she told
the people at Oakland Veterinary Referral Services that a dog which needed critical care was being rushed in and
they must be ready to try their best to save him.

Paragraph 1:
Sandra drove while I stayed in the back seat trying to comfort Bosco. I thought we lost him a couple of times
when he was seemingly out of breath and his eyes seemed to close. By the time we arrived, Bosco was wheeled
into the animal care center to receive emergency care. Bosco was put on oxygen and was taken good care of by
staff there and we waited anxiously for the dog to get out of danger. Rinaldi said another dog in Detroit Dog Rescue had already been named Bosco, and she wanted this new member to have a new name for his new life.
Paragraph 2:
So Bosco is now being called Roscoe, whose critical care and recovery were estimated to be several thousand
dollars. It would be difficult for Roscoe’s new home to cover the costs as a non-profit organization. Thankfully,
many people who knew Roscoe’s story on Detroit Dog Rescue’s Facebook page donated money to his care. With
the help of supporters, Detroit Dog Rescue managed to make it. Once Roscoe was in a stable state, Sandra and I
returned to our original mission, knowing we had already been given the chance to help one desperate soul.
